Rose, she ain’t like the others

 she spins, well, some dervish mother

 Her bright brown hair and her acorn eyes

 she gets me there when she hypnotises

 But Brixton leaves me alone

 Another drunken evening

 Red wine, well, you’re so deceiving

 Her photograph is my only friend

 Well, this one wild year just won’t seem to end

 And Brixton leaves me alone

 The sun will rise once more

 Well, it better

 The sun will rise once more

 If we let her

 But Brixton leaves me alone

 Just one more night in London

 And Home, well, is a distant drumlin’

 With it’s ‘No retreat’ and ‘Our time has come’

 Well, just fuck those fifes and damn those drums

 Yeah Belfast leave me alone

 The sun will rise once more

 Well, it better

 The sun will rise once more

 If we let her

 The sun will rise once more

 Well, it better

 The sun will rise once more

 If we let her

 But Brixton leaves me alone
